Does having sex during ovulation really increase the chance of pregnancy?

I believe everyone knows that during a woman's ovulation period, the chance of pregnancy for couples preparing for pregnancy is the highest, and the success rate is as high as over 50%. The ovulation period is the normal vaginal discharge period for women, which is 14 days after the end of menstruation. It is necessary to ensure that women calculate the days under normal regular conditions. However, women cannot necessarily get pregnant during their ovulation period, but the chance will be greater, and the chance of conception will be higher. It is also necessary to understand the normal physiological characteristics of the individual.

Can women definitely get pregnant during ovulation?

Women will have several days of ovulation in a month. This is the normal physiological law of women and a basic requirement for fertility. If a woman does not ovulate, there will be no eggs to combine with the male sperm, and thus normal conception will not be possible.

Under normal circumstances, the ovaries of women of childbearing age will release a mature egg every month, so if a woman has sex during this period, the chances of pregnancy will be greater. However, successful conception is not guaranteed. If there are any factors that affect normal conception, you need to go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. This ensures that the ovulation period is normal, and only in this way can successful conception occur.

The average survival time of sperm in the female reproductive tract after being released from the body is: 0.5 to 2.5 hours in the vagina, 48 hours in the cervix, 24 hours in the uterus, and 48 hours in the fallopian tube. An egg is released from the ovary and survives in the fallopian tube for about 12 to 16 hours. Fertilization occurs in the cumulus of the fallopian tube or nearby. Although some chemotactic factors stimulated by the egg after ovulation will accelerate the movement of sperm, if the sperm starts running again after ovulation, it will definitely lose many chances of conception.

Experts recommend: Sperm should start running early, that is, have sexual intercourse every two days a week before ovulation, so that sperm can reach the fallopian tube and meet the egg early or on time. Studies have reported that this method of sexual intercourse has a significantly higher pregnancy rate than sexual intercourse after ovulation. In addition, a peaceful state of mind also plays an important role in conception. In clinical practice, we often see couples whose reproductive function tests are normal but who are unable to conceive.

Some of these patients have problems with their mentality. Long-term anxiety and tension (including work, life, and fertility) can affect men's sexual function and semen quality, as well as women's ovulation and egg function. Even anxiety and tension before or during sexual intercourse can cause men to be unable to achieve an erection or have incomplete ejaculation, affecting semen quality, or affect women's egg function, greatly reducing the probability of conception. Therefore, do not pay too much attention to the ovulation period, unless it is for monitoring ovulation function or finding ovulation patterns. Generally, it is enough to have the concept of ovulation in the middle of the menstrual cycle. Excessive attention will increase anxiety and tension, which will reduce the chances of conception.
